The best detox ever!

For me, it’s more like “Die negative thoughts die! Die hate die! Die every single meal plan that demonizes food and calories die! Die body comparisons die! Die fat phobic culture die! Die “New Year, New You” propaganda die! I’m just fine with my good-enough self. Thank you very much. I received an email yesterdayRead the whole post >>

The best way to gain weight is to try to lose it: my path toward embracing intuitive eating

I haven’t written about food or my body image in ages. Sadly, that’s not because it hasn’t been on my mind. Just last week I was at an early morning barre class and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and loathed the way I looked. But before I could fall down aRead the whole post >>

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

I recently had the pleasure of having Ellyn, my 2 ½-year-old niece, over for the afternoon. I gave my brother two bags of hand-me-down clothing for her, and Ellyn wanted to have an impromptu fashion show. She fell in love with a lacy number that was a flower girl dress for Mary.

A valediction to skinny jeans

Dear Skinny Jeans, I haven’t forgotten about you although I am working on it and hopefully at the end of this letter my farewell to you will be complete. For some reason, every time I open my closet lately I hear your siren song calling my name, taunting me and telling me that life wasRead the whole post >>

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
